hBSOLUTION.
cXccutlOncr

DR.. McGlynn last Sunday showed
how Catholics could obtain absolu-
ton without going to ignorant
priests and confcssing. There is an
other way besides: If you steal an
apple from the Italian at the corner,
and wish to square yourself with the
wrongcd apple merchant, 90 to him
and pay him the value of the apple.
Or, if you have not the wherewthal
to thus lquidate, ask him to forgive
you; and if he has forgiying heart,
and is satisfied Of your sorrow, he
may forgive. That's absoIution.
No priest or any other individual
has any authority to speak for the
apple man, unless duly appointed
his attorney. If the apple man was
vindictivc. however, and prevented
you from making restitution by pre-
vomiting You from earning sufficient
to do SO, then You would be absolved
by his own act. If he caused you tc
be pnt " Jail, then your dissolution
would be perfect, also. AbsoIution
is IL peculiar thing, but it is not pc
cullar to pricstcraft,

COERCION FOR IRELAND.

The final result of the Irish agita-
ton seems to be nothing more nor
less than tytal defeat of the Irish
in the expensive parliamentary bat
tie over the question by the Irish
members.
Ireland is "procaimed," and the
British arlstocracy can now proceed
to govern with II will.
The result of the rule of arstocra-
cy-lrish rs well as English, let us
bear in mind-has been that large
numbers of Irish people have died
of starvation and diseases peculiar to
poverty. And since death to the
Irish is decreed, it seems that these
people might as well make up their
minds to die. But they need not
die like rats =: hole. They have
some sort of organization, and tn Y
u'g d. -. well use it for active revo-
lutlonary purposes and, in the spirit

THE LABOR EDITOR.

The following four editorial notes
in an Illinois ''labor' paper will give
our readers some idea of the difficult
ties which the labor movement has to
contend with in the effort at rational
cducation;
'God is on the giving hand, and if the
friends of toll will but do their duty, alt
will le we'll"
"While capital is trying to Cypress
I labor in America, the brainIess lords of
: England are holding down the poor,
bleeding hearts of Ireland
"The X. of l.. convention last week
tabled resolution endorsing Henry
George We are inclined to agree with
the convention. Endorse organized
labor, not individuals.
"Powderly, the greatest man of the
day in organized labor, has done his
duty to the labor movement as hardly no

Perhaps this editor believes he is
engaged IN pralscworthy occupn-
ton, and yet there is Il cant and fla
vor of demagogism about his screcds
that might we'll discourage honest
and intelligent reformers if they had
not an abiding faith in the progress

RICHNESS.

From the New York Tribune we learn
that Rev. DIR. Huntington is of opinion
that the only cure for poverty is in what
he calls 1.-The three Ts"-Toil, Thrift and
Temperance. All now we know why
the rich are so very rich. They have
toiled hard all their lives, been exceedingly
thrifty, and strictly temperate both in
eating and drinking. No wonder they
are 50 rich when you come TO think of it |.

SOME DEMOCRATIC IDEAS.

SOME DEMOCRATIC IDEAS.
There are, unfortunately, many
deceived people who believe that they
are part and parcel of the govern
mcnt because they can occasionally
vote for some individual nominated
by ring Of political t,lckstcrs.
How intinitesmaI their part of citI-
nnship is they do not seem to com
prehend. They would not accept
the present condition Of things if it
were suddenly presented to them
while they were living in truly
democratic State. The usurpation
of power by the few the influence
OF the posscssors Of wcalth-thc bare
possibility of the exercise Of undue
influence by the ambtikls few would
shock the scnsiblitlcs of true dem
ocrat.
Take, for instance, the fact that
in our large cities the people must
submit to have their judges appoint
ed by the legislature of the . -,
and that legislature so constituted
that the T. e Of the cities are not
represented according to population,
as is tire case in the State of Connec-
tlcut, and for aught we know, in
other States also. The City of New
Haven, with population Of about
5000, has to be satisfied with two
representa- ives, while small villages
(callcd towns and clties) with u pop
ulation Of one or two hundred may
send the same number of represent
atyes to the legislature. 1t will at
once be seen that the political party
in power has m immense and unjust
advantage over the people who may
desire n change of laws, but cannot
command the legislature which is
supposed to represent the people of
the State. With u judiciary appointed
by the successful political party poll
tlcianS there can be no successful
appeal to that branch of government
to determine or "construe" the con.
stitntionality of the unjust system
of representation.
The. Labor Party is the only party
which has platform that is truly
democratic. Not only do the organ.
ized working people desire fan
re, cscntaton, but they desire more,
The rivilege of a popular vote upon
measures proposed is an idea that is
democratic in the true sense Of the
word. They are to be trusted in
this matter, for il is 10 their Interest
to demand and secure this privilege,
rs it would protect them from class
legislation with all its attendant in
justice and wrong.
The taxation of the people for
State revenue is Il matter that in ac-
cordance with the old motto of "nc
taxation "itilodt representation
should be left to the representatives
of the people-not to the represent.
atives of some of the people.
The Judiciary, under the present
system, is the real power of govern
mcnt," after all. The peoples viii
is so ingeniously diluted that it ha,
practically no force IN the selection
and regulation of the judges and tn,
judicial system. Once sldGled upol

Fire Losses During the Last Year.

december shows very considerable increase
in fire losses over November, and 1886 exhibits
the heaviest loss record of any twelve months
during the last ten years. The total losses re-
ported in the United States for the month, as
shown by Rough Notes tables. amount to $l0,-
1919, S48; Canada losses. $433OOO total, $40 &c.,
S48. To these losses Indiana contributed 1885,.
AGO; Illinois, 1927 $780, Ohio, $751; 925 If to total
losses Is per cent is added for losses less than
$1,000 not reported, the grand total is ST. 729,
o24 fire waste for the month in the United
States, and $l2 l52. 824 in the United States and
Canada. This brings the fire losses of the year
in the United States and Canada up to SILT 600,
600, in round numbers Compared with former
years, and taking into account the rapid increase
in wealth this loss is not excessive, and the in.
surance loss to companies is not likely to prove
unusually severe.

that the consolidation of five State corporations

clared that the consolidation was illegal in two

only interest is creditors to the extent of
their judgments. The decision is a Vanderbilt
victory, and will be appealed.
